Five Frozen Centuries

As Wei Huo was at a loss for words, the mysterious old man started explaining, “You didn’t expect that, did you? The time flow in two different places isn’t actually the same. The Divine Realm’s maximum speed is 100 times more than the human world’s. That’s why things change at 100 times the human world’s speed. According to the same logic, your reaction speed is 100 times more than it is in the human world. What is time? Time is the intuitive feeling that humans have for the speed of things… I was wrong. It’s actually God versus things.”

Wei Huo nodded and said, “I understand. A few thousand years have passed in the Human Realm, but hundreds of thousands of years have passed in the Divine Realm, right? Besides, the soul’s body has a longer lifespan.”

The mysterious old man was confused. “Longer lifespan? As long as one becomes a God, one will have an unlimited lifespan. Unless they are killed, a God will be able to live indefinitely. How can there be such a saying?”

Wei Huo scrunched his brows. “You’re not going to die? That’s impossible. I’ve already asked many Gods. An Epic-ranked God only has a lifespan of 8,000 years. A Legendary-ranked God has a lifespan of 30,000 years.”

The mysterious old man laughed. “Who are you listening to? I’m the first human to become a God. I’ve lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and I’m only at the Epic stage.”

Wei Huo was confused. In that case, there might be secrets hidden in the Divine Realm that he did not know about.

Wei Huo was planning to talk to the mysterious old man for a bit longer, but the mysterious old man seemed to sense something. He said in shock, “The Wang Family’s forbidden ground has been opened. What’s going on?”

Upon saying that, the mysterious old man flew in one direction. Wei Huo followed him, as a plotline was triggered. He saw a portal that was over 20 meters tall in the distance.

The mysterious old man was shocked. “What are they trying to do? Are they trying to release the Legendary Divine Beast that’s trapped in the forbidden ground?”

Wei Huo was surprised. Legendary? Was that the Final Boss?

Wei Huo followed the old man into the portal and saw a huge mountain. There was an enormous temple on the mountain. The stone stairs extended all the way from the temple’s entrance to the foot of the mountain. Two people were standing at the end of the stone stairs. One of them was Wang Teng’s Second Uncle, Wang Yi. Wei Huo had not seen the other person before, but he looked very similar to Wang Teng.

Wang Teng was standing at the foot of the mountain. They maintained their posture and would not move. As soon as Wei Huo climbed the mountain, Wang Teng shouted toward the top of the mountain, “Uncle, there will still be hope if you turn around. If you continue moving forward, the Wang Family will have no way out!”

Wang Yi frowned. “Nephew, you are too rigid. If the Wang Family does not take this step, it will never rise again. It might even fall into the abyss forever!”

Upon seeing this scene, Wei Huo felt his teeth hurt. He told the mysterious old man, “Aren’t you going to say something?”

The mysterious old man floated up and shouted, “All of you unfilial descendants are sealed here in the era of Divine Beasts. How could you dare undo the seal?”

The three of them turned around simultaneously. “Who are you?”

Wei Huo was speechless.

The atmosphere gradually became awkward.

The mysterious old man glared at him and said, “Outrageous! Outrageous! It’s only been a few hundred thousand years, yet you guys have forgotten what the Old Patriarch looks like. Damn it! Damn it!”

Wei Huo scratched his head. “Only?”

Wang Yi sneered. “Where did this crazy old man come from? An Epic-ranked figure has actually lived for hundreds of thousands of years? Unless they are at the Mythical stage that transcends all achievements, no God can live that long.”

A trace of doubt flashed across the mysterious old man’s eyes as he asked loudly, “What exactly has the Divine Realm turned into? How can a spirit body have a lifespan? Could you have been tricked?”

“That’s right!” the Big Brother that Wang Yi was talking about said. “The people from the Divine Realm were all deceived by three Legendary Gods. This is a truth that only the Wang Family’s Patriarch has the right to know. Gods do not have a lifespan limit, but they will never live past 8,000 years!”

The mysterious old man asked, “What’s going on?”

Big Brother said, “Don’t you understand? Everything is obvious. This was all part of the three Gods’ scheme. In order to control the number of Gods, they modified our spiritual energy source to prevent new Legendary-level beings from being born. You all know very well that everything we eat and use is produced by the spiritual energy flowing out of the spiritual energy source. They modified the spiritual energy source, causing the spiritual energy flowing out of the source to become poisonous. As we grow older, the more spiritual food we eat, the closer we get to death!”

Wei Huo was shocked. He had never heard of such a thing before, but on second thought, it was not impossible. If Gods did not have a lifespan limit, the Gods that were constantly being born would eventually pile up in the Divine Realm.

“That’s not all!” Big Brother added. “The three Gods have been implementing foolish policies. They could have finished accumulating knowledge within three years, but they had to complicate simple issues and make us study for 300 years. We could have come into contact with society after growing up for five to six years, but we had to make the babies stay in kindergarten for 300 years. We could have started researching science, but God had to suppress us. Such a ruler is not fit to rule us!”

Wei Huo was speechless.

If God was not like that, what would they do with their long lives?

Besides, this was not God’s policy. It was just the setting of a real game creator. That’s right, your discontent and your rebellion are all God’s settings!

Big Brother smiled coldly and said, “Recently, the Heavenly Wood God ordered some adult Gods to head to the Human Realm to make slight adjustments to it. However, every time they’ve returned, two or three Gods are missing. They are all Gods with tremendous potential. Do you think we can’t tell that the Heavenly Wood God is doing this?”

Big Brother’s words rendered everyone speechless. The mysterious old man frowned and asked in disbelief, “How is it possible for the three Gods to work together to suppress you? What about the aristocrats? What about the law of the jungle that mandates that the strong prey on the weak? What about the coming-of-age ceremony that is held every year? What about the Hunting Competition? What about the arena? In my era, there were experts everywhere. The strong were respected. The three Gods kept each other in check and worked hard to make their subordinates develop… What exactly happened in the Divine Realm?”

Big Brother was a little shocked. He asked, “How do you know so much? Are you really our ancestor?”

Big Brother was a little surprised. Soon, however, he was pleasantly surprised. “It’s a good thing that our ancestors have awakened. Ancestor, please lend me a hand. Open the seal and release the Divine Beast to destroy the Dark Age and rebuild the kingdom!”

After saying that, Big Brother looked at Wei Huo and said, “Friends, if you are willing to support me, I will reward you greatly for rebuilding the Divine Realm. Please help me!”

Wei Huo was confused.

Friends?

He looked around and then turned back to look behind him. I’m alone!

It’s because this is a six-player dungeon. That’s why you’re addressing many people, right? Unfortunately, I’m farming alone right now!

The mysterious old man bellowed, “No matter what, you can’t release the Divine Beast. If you try to break the seal, I’ll become your enemy!”

‘Ding!’ Another quest was sent by Wei Huo’s system. It was another Decision Quest. However, this quest was unusual. It was called ‘The Final Choice of the Divine Realm’.

“Select to help Wang Wei and Wang Yi remove the seal. If you succeed, you will obtain a Legendary weapon.”

“Select to prevent Wang Wei and Wang Yi from removing the seal. If you succeed, you will obtain a Legendary card.”

“Note: Any choice you make will have a huge influence on the Divine Realm!”
